January Tonnage Up

Throughout the month of January, the team here at AC Trucking, had noticed tangible changes in freight volume over that of January 2016. It turns out that our experience was not unique. According to Transport Topics, January tonnage was up 2.6% .While the recent surge in the stock market indicates optimism about the economy, the bump in freight volume is hard evidence of real improvement. The American Transportation Association Chief Economist, Bob Costello, stated, “The freight economy is starting to show some signs of life, and January’s truck tonnage numbers are a good step forward.”
